LIES, LIES, LIES – Human Rights Watch Lies to Incite War in Syria

Not content with his blatant deceit on May 8, misusing a Gaza photo to portray Aleppo, and only retracting it when he was mobbed on Twitter, on May 9 he’s done it again. He tweeted another FAKE…

A bit of further digging reveals that the image in question was taken by AFP photographer George Ourfalian on April 9th 2015, and is sourced to Getty Images. The blurb accompanying the photo states that:
“A general view shows destruction in the Hamidiyeh neighbourhood of the northern Syrian city of Aleppo as local popular committee fighters, who support the Syrian government forces, try to defend the traditionally Christian district on the third day of intense battles with Islamic State group jihadists”

So the photo is actually of a ‘pro-regime’ neighbourhood that had been coming under attack from ISIS.
